Thinking of Yu Ting’s previous actions which raised concerns even before the Zhidian interview started recording, Song Zhan couldn’t help but give her a few worried reminders.
He was really afraid of what nonsense she might say after going there.
"I understand." Yu Ting replied nonchalantly.
As if she wasn’t the one giving away cars and houses just a while ago.
The two chatted about this issue for a bit. When they had almost finished, Song Zhan abruptly changed the topic: "So when are you coming to the company to handle some paperwork?"
There it was.
Yu Ting felt a shock in her heart. She was ready to shake off the responsibility of being the boss as soon as she heard the question. She wanted to refuse right away.
"I don’t-"
"You haven’t been here in almost two weeks."
Even though he was the deputy CEO who handled all kinds of issues on a daily basis, there were still some things that required the attention and approval of the CEO.
Perhaps the most important thing was to set an example for the group of journalists who were always lurking at the base of the VG Building, right?!
The CEO hadn’t been to the company in half a month. Was she afraid they would run out of things to write about?
Yu Ting: ...
What Song Zhan said next rendered Yu Ting speechless.
On careful consideration, Yu Ting realized that she had no way out: ...
"Soon the headlines will read ’#Yu Ting, CEO of VG Entertainment, Has Been Absent for Over Half a Month. Rumored to be On a Sweet Honeymoon with a Male Artist from Her Company#’."
Yu Ting: ?
"#CEO Yu of VG Hasn’t Made an Appearance in a Long Time. Rumored to Have Secretly Given Birth#"
????
"So what’s your plan?"
Then, the two of them fell silent on their respective ends of the phone line. Yu Ting was pondering, while Song Zhan was waiting for her to make a decision.
...
...
...
"Actually, you have potential as a public relations person. Do you want to give it a try?"
Song Zhan, who was anxiously waiting for Yu Ting to make a decision: ?
In the end, after a few minutes of idle chatter, Yu Ting agreed to come to VG Entertainment on Sunday and then to the Zhidian interview on Monday.
...
However, on Weibo, things weren’t exactly as Song Zhan had described. A hashtag #CEO Yu of VG Entertainment Has Been Absent for a While, Rumored to Be House-Hunting# had been trending for a while.
A joyful atmosphere was in the air inside the super topic, as if they were celebrating Chinese New Year.
As cliche as: Once bitten, twice shy?
Amidst the joy, someone even ran to the bottom of Song Zhan’s Weibo post to express sympathy.
’Work is hard for you, Boss Song, with the company being such a heavy burden. Keep going, Boss Song, you rock!’
’Keep going, keep going.’
’Fans, don’t just comment and do nothing. Hurry up and follow good ol’ Boss Song.’
...
The next day
Yu Ting, who had arrived at VG Company in the morning, was dressed in gear personally picked out by Lu Nanchen: black stand-up collar long cotton jacket, thermal trousers underneath, and fleece-lined shoes.
The whole person was appropriately bundled up.
The pockets of the cotton jacket were big enough to carry the insulated mug that Lu Nanchen gave her before leaving. It contained hot water just boiled that morning.
"Shit, who’s that? Is that CEO Yu?"
"How could CEO Yu dress like that... Shit, it really is her! Quick, take a snap! We’ve been waiting for half a month and finally got to see her. Quick, take a snap!"
Seeing all this, the two paparazzi near VG Entertainment’s office quickly started taking photos.
Since Yu Ting hadn’t shown up for more than a week, these people on a stakeout had a hard time.
After giving them a quick glanced, Yu Ting took her gaze away and continued to go inside the company.
She knew her photos were being taken but couldn’t really care less at this point.
Who would think that I, all bundled up like this, could make any scandalous headlines or tabloid news? That I could be involved with a young heartthrob male artist?
Wouldn’t that young heartthrob be blind?
Inside the company, Yu Ting returned the greetings of several employees she passed by and took the elevator straight to the top floor, commencing her day at the office.
